Wisconsin judge lets GOP-led election review continue [View all]

Astate judge in Wisconsin is allowing a GOP-led review of the 2020 election to proceed in the state, turning back — at least temporarily — a bid to stymie the probe led by the Democratic state attorney general.
In Wisconsin, former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman is leading an investigation of the 2020 election with the blessing of state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Election experts have warned that post-election partisan reviews, like the one in the state, are harmful to the democratic system because they can serve as vehicles to legitimize, rather than allay, former President Donald Trump's conspiracy theories about widespread fraud in the 2020 election.
Dane County Circuit Court Judge Rhonda Lanford issued a ruling on Monday that denied state Attorney General Josh Kaul’s bid to undercut Gableman’s probe. Kaul sought to block a subpoena Gableman sent to Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe to compel her testimony.
Kaul’s suit sought a temporary injunction to stop the subpoena, arguing in part that it should be unenforceable because it was too broad and because it sought Wolfe’s testimony in private rather than in public.
